Understanding Your Health
When you receive medicine from a pharmacy, it usually comes with a prescription label. This label contains life-saving information that you must be able to find quickly.
The most important detail to scan for is the dosage. This tells you exactly how many pills to take and how many times per day. You also need to look for the expiry date; taking old medicine can be dangerous or it might not work at all.
Finally, always scan for extra warning stickers. These are often bright colors. A yellow sticker might warn you about side effects, while a red sticker might warn you about a dangerous interaction, such as avoid driving because the drug causes drowsiness.
